Descriptiontext

Rolocule Games is a privately held mobile games studio headquartered in Pune, India, founded in 2010. Per the firmographic record, the company is described as 'India's top mid-core mobile games company' and operates with a team of 11-50 employees, positioning it as a small, focused studio rather than a large publisher. Leadership is concentrated, with Founder & CEO Rohit Gupta and CTO Suhel Momin as the named principals; no broader management team, board, or institutional investors beyond early-stage backers were disclosed.

The company's product surface and technical architecture are not detailed in the available source material: no specific game titles, platforms supported (iOS/Android/cross-platform), engine (Unity/Unreal/custom), monetization mechanics (in-app purchases, ads, hybrid), or technology stack have been disclosed. The firmographic label 'mid-core' implies casual-to-core hybrid titles (puzzle-RPG, sports, strategy), which typically leverage mobile-first engines and live-ops infrastructure, but no verifiable build artifact supports this in the data supplied.

On the business model, no pricing information was disclosed and the firmographic record explicitly notes 'No pricing information available in the provided source data.' For a mid-core mobile games studio, plausible monetization would include free-to-download with in-app purchases and/or advertising, but this is inferred rather than confirmed. Disclosed funding totals approximately $811,765 across three rounds (June 2012, January 2013, August 2014) from Artha Group, Blume Ventures, and Mumbai Angels; no revenue, ARR, GMV, or valuation figures are available. Customer logos and segments were not disclosed.
